Transmitting
voice communication over the same path as data has substantial advantage:
Lower
the cost - Installation and operation of a converged network
can save you up to 60% over the total cost of ownership of separate
networks; it consumes less bandwidth than traditional voice networks,
and it doesn't require separate voice and data lines within a building
and between remote offices. In addition there can be real savings
in long distance telephone costs.
Simplify
network maintenance - An integrated voice / data network
allows more standardization and reduces total equipment needs. Managing
a single, unified network is generally easier, cheaper and requires
fewer resources.
Telecommute
to your office desktop - VoIP makes access
to all communication channels (voice, e-mail, fax) possible from
any device (computer, phone, cell phone, PDA). It enables workers
who are mobile for some or all of the time to work as efficiently
as they would in their main office.
With
IP telephony, any compatible terminal can plug into any type of
data outlet in any location on the network and be recognized, meaning
that offices can quickly be established, configured and altered
to meet the changing needs of businesses. There are several VoIP
solutions in Chinese market: HiPath
by Siemens, IP
Office by Avaya, VoIP solutions by INALP,
SmarTalk etc.
